<p>On the 25th January I lost my son, Pte Martin S G Bell&nbsp;while he was serving his country in Afghanistan. In memory of Marts I am joining&nbsp;his brothers and some of&nbsp;our friends in attempting the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in aid of the Parachute Regiment Afghanistan Trust. This trust has been a great help to us and also helps all the other families of the lost and also of the injured.&nbsp;I&nbsp;appreciate everyone's wonderful generousity so far but if you could just dig a bit deeper to support us&nbsp;that would be fantastic.</p> <p>Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Harrison, Commanding Officer&nbsp;of the&nbsp;2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment said "Private Martin Bell died going to the assistance of a critically injured friend in the most dangerous combat circumstances imaginable; 'greater love has no man than this'. "The term 'hero' is overused in contemporary commentary; take a moment to reflect on the image of Martin Bell, a twenty-four-year-old paratrooper who disobeyed a direct order in order to render life-saving first aid to his colleague. For that exceptional valour he paid the ultimate price."</p> <p>Thank you so much for all&nbsp;of your support over the past few months.</p> <p>Martin's passing will leave a hole in hearts forever. We will always love you, miss you and we will never, ever forget you Marts.</p> <p>Elaine</p>
